Bro I don't even have a tribal id I am indigenous tho but because of how long my hair and the fact I always have it in braids people feel the need to tell me their entire ancestry
@@O1OO1O1Absolutely. I'm a natural brunette. Have been both a redhead and a blonde. Have dyed them to match always. Being pasty white also helps pull off both those hair colors. Lol
Not all Irish people have red hair but this still made me bust up 😂🎉 My sister is a natural redhead, the only one in our entire family except for my Grandfather on my mother's side, but he was German and Czechoslavakian. 😅
People really think Europeans only colonize what is known as the usa today. They were all over the americas . From mexico to chili. To brazil. Hence you see white mexicans but you also see mexicans that look indigenous. The more indigenous the look the less spaniard that runs in the family. If you're white and Mexican it's obvious the Spaniards came, and stuck with other whites. But eventually adopted Mexican culture and let go of their spaniard heritage. Hence why white mexicans act like any other Mexican vs acting like modern spaniards. Yes there are other white countries like Ireland or poland where modern white Americans try to keep those culture traits alive which is why you see alot of white Americans identify as part irish or polish. Even though it's been over hundred years since their ancestors came to america. It is the equivalent how 99.99% of white Americans don't act like British even though if you go back far enough, their ancestors were from england.
I’m half Arab. I get asked all the time why I can’t speak Spanish. I get the entire conversation so fast and I try to keep up. One lady said why your parents not teach you? I said because they taught me Arabic instead?! But seriously I’m in Florida and they don’t believe me. 😂
Half-breed here 😂 I feel yah! I dgaf what anyone thinks, but my sister gets carried away like she ⬆️ does and has to let it be known she's Chippewa 😂 Not too crazy by me though, I'd say 30% of people from the rez I grew up on you would never guess were native. Always cracked me up when someone trying to bully calling people "white boy" this and that while having blonde hair and the whitest skin you'd ever seen 😂
As an Irish person we are paler then fecking snow like we look blue sometimes literally as in the colour because we are that pale especially my mum god love her ❤😂 also fun fact the most red heads are in Scotland 🏴 not Ireland 🇮🇪 😊
Indeed. I have red hair and I’m Scottish Mexican on both sides and both parents are 100% Mexican I just so happens that there was a Scottish community In Jalisco
I’m Irish American and I’m so pale, but I have dark hair and eyes. I don’t burn super bad as my mom is polish and Croatian, but I got my dad’s coloring. He used to joke that I was so white that I reflected the sun lol I really just become one big freckle unless we’re on the water all day then I’ll be roasted. My husband has Scottish and German and Viking type background but his great grandmother was native American so even though he’s very light with blue eyes and freckles, he tans really nicely and pretty fast. Our daughter is red hair and freckles but our son has my mom’s olive complexion, and is pretty golden in comparison to the rest of us. It’s really interesting how the genetics work. I’ve been to Ireland to where my grandmother is from and it’s pretty interesting how many people look like me, with the dark hair and eyes but the very light skin and freckles. People usually lump the Irish and Scottish peoples together but they have many differences.
I am as white as her with green eyes but dark brown hair and everyone thinks that I am from Spain or Argentina. My dad's side is Jewish and my mom's Portuguese but both were born in Mexico.
lol you're Spanish. it's Europe, where your ancestors came from. 😂 i am Sicilian. my Dominican co worker is white as me. only I'm twice as tall and have blonde hair and blue eyes but my skin is darker🤣 i call him white all the time, calm down my Mediterranean cousin is ok😉
Spanish is a European language it’s not strange at all if you speak Spanish all of this was invented by the United States. If you are a certain color it’s so weird if you speak Spanish
Its Mexican slang. A LOT of Hispanic countries are using Mexican slang/jargon nowadays. Its kinda dirty to say that. Its a vulgar word just so you know.
This reminds me of the time Alexis Bledel was on Conan O'Brien speaking Spanish and he could not believe she was so fluent in Spanish because it was her first language.
Funny because Spanish came from spain a white country. Lol like they think Spanish is the native indigenous language. They really think Europeans only colonize what is known as usa today.
Most conquistadors look like George Lopez or Snooki Polizzo. She looks like she has more recent Northern European ancestry or even mixed race (Asian and Caucasian). Everyone knows native Americans are white-skinned Asians, Caucasians from America are actually lighter than Southern Europeans. Southern Europe is HOT
Americans who's grandparent was Mexican like to claim to be Latinos, when we (Latin Americans) all see them as gringos It's an American thing. If I was American I'd probably think I'm Italian haha (I'm Brazilian)

@wassentme1891 How about when people expect you to speak Spanish when you are not even Hispanic to begin with. Sometimes I get mistaken for Hispanic. I'm half Bulgarian Jew and half Sicilian.
I feel bad for y'all. I've seen it happen to people. And I'm actually friends with a guy who comes from Hispanic parents but he was never taught how to speak it. (He understands a little bit and his pronunciation has gotten better since he'd sometimes come over to my house and my family speaks Spanish) I pass as white due to my pale skin and the fact that I don't like letting people know that I'm bilingual. I hate being used as a translator 😅 Edit: I don't mind if it's for a friend or family but I don't like translating for a complete stranger in class. Like we have Google translate 😂
I took my husband's last name when we married. It's a very French name and we live where a lot of people are bilingual, but I'm like 95% English only lol. Folks tend to start out speaking to me in French and I have to stop them and say I don't speak French. It got to the point that at the hospital where I was followed for my pregnancies they wrote in huge underlined letters "Anglophone" 😂 still had a few nurses start in French before the corrected themselves lol
¡Qué divertido! I had a cousin when I was growing up in New Mexico who was a natural redhead pero no estaba gringa. It's a secret weapon because no one expects it. You would make a great spy😂
I briefly attended school with a girl of Puerto Rican descent, who had naturally red hair, hazel eyes and extremely fair skin. BTW, Alexis Bledel and the original Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter-- both brunettes with blue eyes and fair skin-- are part Latina. (And Bledel, at least, is bilingual.)
Alexis is Mexican/Argentinian her parents only spoke Spanish to her at home no English. Her parents are of German Mexican descent and German Argentinian descent. Hispanics do have French and German and other European ethnicities as well not just Spanish even though Spanish is the majority.
She's 10 shades too light to be from anywhere near Southern Europe. George Lopez, Alessia Cara and Snooki Polizzo are stereotypical Southern Euripeans. She either has Northern European ancestry or is even mixed race (Asian and Caucasian); Asians/Native Americans have white skin, she could have inherited Caucasian race and Asian/Native coloribg.
I'm not hispanic or latina at all but I am definitely a gringa, redhead and all, and just because I know a lottle bit of spanish people are caught off guard and stare at me in disbelief. I definitely need to work on my spanish, it's kind of fun getting those reactions. So fun and wholesome haha.
I’m Dominican and I “look Hispanic” but I’m also adopted and I grew up on Long Island at a time when there were very few Latinos on the island. So I got a face like Cardi B and a voice like Fran Drescher 😭
The name refers to gringos of Hispanic descent who speak incorrect Spanish or even "Spanglish." "No sabo" is an incorrect way of saying "no sé" because we learn that the yo form of verbs replaces the infinitive endings "-ar," "-er," and "-ir" with "-o." However, irregular verbs like "saber" are a little sneaky about that, so any English speakers, including gringo Hispanics, without prior knowledge will incorrectly conjugate "saber" as "yo sabo" instead of "yo sé." That's what it means when someone is a "no sabo kid"
@@Stormy575 what makes this particular conjugation even more sneaky, which makes it easier to guess wrong, is that the other simple present tense conjugations of "saber" are regular for -er verbs: Yo *sé* - I know Tú sabes - you know (informal) Vos sabés - you know (informal) (usage of this form and the "tú" form vary by dialect) Él/ella/usted sabe - he knows/she knows/you know (formal) Nosotros/as sabemos - we know Vosotros/as sabéis - you [guys] know (informal) (This form is not used in Latin America; mostly in Spain) Ellos/ellas/ustedes saben - they know/you [guys] know (formal) ("Ustedes" is also informal in Latin America)
I get the same thing everytime I break out even a little spanglish... "How did you learn spanish?" And I have to tell them the same story everytime.. It good gets kinda old. Im English and danish blood, but I frew up in California working restaurants and xonstruction, traveling to mexico regularly, years of classes and I loved in Costa Rica working as a tour guide for nine months... And my dad speaks fluently too... It took my whole life basically
Also, Everyone and anyone who grew up in the west coast can understand Spanish pretty well considering that the Spanish named all our cities and streets, and how many Latinos we get on a daily basis 🤦🏼♀️ I really don’t understand how people can be surprised. We’re all mixed now anyways
Saludos, 'mano! I'm basically the same...UP of Michigan to Globe, AZ as a kid and we were pushed to learn Spanish by our parents. Que buen consejo! More Spanish in college, lots of travel to Latin America, some latino partners...I'm 60 and have been learning it since age 16.
It's so true. I worked in a hotel in California where nearly all of my coworkers were from Mexico or El Salvador. One woman, Sandra, looked like she could have come from Wisconsin, where I'm from. Blonde hair, blue eyes, more of a northern European appearance overall. But she was born and raised in Mexico. Spoke only a little English, but excellent Spanish. She got a lot of startled reactions, lol. My former neighbor is from Mexico City, but his wife is from Wisconsin. They go to Mexico a lot. Makes me wonder what reactions their daughter, who also looks pretty northern European, gets when she goes, because her Spanish is also pretty stellar.
People in Mexico don’t get surprised if a European looking person speaks Spanish. If anything, they get surprised if a darker person spoke Spanish. If that’s what u mean
Well, they must be incredibly ignorant about their own language because they were born in the US, as I'm Mexican born and raised and you wouldn't find a single person here who doesn't know that our language comes from Spain... Especially when we call the people, well, the Spanish = los españoles. Also, Spanish singers and bands are quite popular in Lat-Am.
I had a friend who was a natural blonde with green eyes and pale skin and was half Mexican and half White and everyone was always shocked she was half Mexican and spoke fluent Spanish.
Fr like we get it, you're white. There are many white skinned people that their first language was Spanish. I think she just wants to be ✨️super different✨️ this is her entire personality. 🙄
Same here! Really pale with green eyes, people are surprised when they don't know me. People forget we were invaded by the vikings at some point. And blonde spanish with blue eyes exist! 😂
@theashwoodfaerie Yes indeed, in Basque country there are a lot of people who have dark or medium hair like me with pale skin and grey/greenish eyes. It's very common!
@theashwoodfaerieRed hair is not uncommon in the north of Spain either. Far less Moorish influence up there. The dresses girls wear for some of the traditional folk dances look a lot like what girls wear for Irish dancing, just the Spanish ones are more often red. The world is a fascinating place!
@@camillerolland9784my great grandfather was Basque and there are a LOT of blonde blue eyes in our family. And fairer skin. However I turned our light olive with green eyes and medium brown hair. But I AM RH negative blood type as are over 80% Basque. I love studying genetics😊
I was married to a man with a long Spanish name but he was raised by his Irish grandmother and had blue eyes, as did I. Neither one of us spoke Spanish. Every time we booked a tour or something in Mexico we'd laugh as we watched the smile melt off our guide's face and we could practically hear them thinking "oh shit. I gotta do this in English?!?!"
You don't need to be a master of your 2nd language to be considered bilingual. As long as you can communicate with other people it's fine. Of course there's always room for improvement, but don't be shy to practice your L2
To be considered bilingual you have to be almost as fluent in both languages you speak. If not, you might be fluent in your second language but you are not bilingual. In Europe we have a system that clasifies the knowledge of languages, being level A2 the lowest and E the native speakers. You are considered bilingual only if you are at least C1 or over in both languages. For example, I am an E in Spanish (that's my mother's tongue), and like a D in English, so I'm bilingual, but also I am like a B2 in French and an A2 in German (which means I can understand French pretty well and have a conversation on it, and that I have some basic knowledge of German), but I'm not trilingual even if I can have a conversation in French, because I cannot have a really fluent one. To be considered bilingual you need to be able to think in your second language, without translating it first, or being able to see movies or read books without any help or translation.
Hey girl um I watch your videos ALOT so I have a question. Do you mind always putting English subtitles because you randomly say Spanish words and then English and it’s hard to keep up, considering I don’t speak Spanish I would really appreciate it!❤❤❤

I could feel that. I am as white as her and have been told that I am anemic white.
"Mas blanco que una tortilla" is hilarious!! These shorts are so fun - muy divertido!!
It also works the other way ... when a clearly Chicano person has a Brooklyn accent, or a British upper crust one.
I’m Dominican and I “look Hispanic” but I’m also adopted and I grew up on Long Island at a time when there were very few Latinos on the island. So I got a face like Cardi B and a voice like Fran Drescher 😭
No sabía que les dicen "no sabo kid" jajajaja qué cagado😂
Me perdi aquí....yo tampoco...que quiere decir
The name refers to gringos of Hispanic descent who speak incorrect Spanish or even "Spanglish." "No sabo" is an incorrect way of saying "no sé" because we learn that the yo form of verbs replaces the infinitive endings "-ar," "-er," and "-ir" with "-o." However, irregular verbs like "saber" are a little sneaky about that, so any English speakers, including gringo Hispanics, without prior knowledge will incorrectly conjugate "saber" as "yo sabo" instead of "yo sé." That's what it means when someone is a "no sabo kid"
@@ryankramer8779thank you for explaining so clearly 🙏
@@Stormy575 you're welcome
@@Stormy575 what makes this particular conjugation even more sneaky, which makes it easier to guess wrong, is that the other simple present tense conjugations of "saber" are regular for -er verbs:
Yo *sé* - I know
Tú sabes - you know (informal)
Vos sabés - you know (informal)
(usage of this form and the "tú" form vary by dialect)
Él/ella/usted sabe - he knows/she knows/you know (formal)
Nosotros/as sabemos - we know
Vosotros/as sabéis - you [guys] know (informal)
(This form is not used in Latin America; mostly in Spain)
Ellos/ellas/ustedes saben - they know/you [guys] know (formal)
("Ustedes" is also informal in Latin America)
As if the passion didn't give it away.
I’ve honestly learned more Spanish from her shorts than my entire two years taking Spanish in high school
No mames guey que padre
I get the same thing everytime I break out even a little spanglish... "How did you learn spanish?" And I have to tell them the same story everytime.. It good gets kinda old. Im English and danish blood, but I frew up in California working restaurants and xonstruction, traveling to mexico regularly, years of classes and I loved in Costa Rica working as a tour guide for nine months... And my dad speaks fluently too... It took my whole life basically
Also, Everyone and anyone who grew up in the west coast can understand Spanish pretty well considering that the Spanish named all our cities and streets, and how many Latinos we get on a daily basis 🤦🏼♀️ I really don’t understand how people can be surprised. We’re all mixed now anyways
😂😂😂 FREW up made me spit my tea out. Ha ha.
Saludos, 'mano! I'm basically the same...UP of Michigan to Globe, AZ as a kid and we were pushed to learn Spanish by our parents. Que buen consejo!
More Spanish in college, lots of travel to Latin America, some latino partners...I'm 60 and have been learning it since age 16.
Worth it
It's so true. I worked in a hotel in California where nearly all of my coworkers were from Mexico or El Salvador. One woman, Sandra, looked like she could have come from Wisconsin, where I'm from. Blonde hair, blue eyes, more of a northern European appearance overall. But she was born and raised in Mexico. Spoke only a little English, but excellent Spanish. She got a lot of startled reactions, lol.
My former neighbor is from Mexico City, but his wife is from Wisconsin. They go to Mexico a lot. Makes me wonder what reactions their daughter, who also looks pretty northern European, gets when she goes, because her Spanish is also pretty stellar.
Actually in Latin America a white, European looking person is pretty common.
so, being Prejudiced isn't just something that only White People do. other people can be just as Ignorant..
Got it..
@@gaintturnip they forget the Spanish spread all across Mesoamerica for landwnership opportunities.
People in Mexico don’t get surprised if a European looking person speaks Spanish. If anything, they get surprised if a darker person spoke Spanish. If that’s what u mean
As a child my hair was blonde. People would touch my hair in the street. That is what the daughter would probably get in some regions.
Hahaha!!! I Love It, Que Hermosa La red head.
We had mexican kids in Spanish class that didn't know Spanish was from spain.
because most mexican kids have parents who didnt attend school to teach them stuff
They didn't know that the language called "español" comes from the country called "España?" 😂
Well, they must be incredibly ignorant about their own language because they were born in the US, as I'm Mexican born and raised and you wouldn't find a single person here who doesn't know that our language comes from Spain... Especially when we call the people, well, the Spanish = los españoles. Also, Spanish singers and bands are quite popular in Lat-Am.
and there are Americans that don't know that English comes from England.
when i went to school in mexico in like 3rd grade we were learning about conquestadores and shitof course they would know,@@monicanavarro2906
"No, no spain" sounded so sweet
I’m a no sabo kid with Colombian on my dads side and there’s this girl in a lot of my classes that pronounces my own last name better than I do 💀
"What you mean prove it???" Exactly 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They could have asked if she was from Argentina, before Ireland.
But then she'd be speaking German ;)
@@kristofevarsson6903 lol!
I had a friend who was a natural blonde with green eyes and pale skin and was half Mexican and half White and everyone was always shocked she was half Mexican and spoke fluent Spanish.
i didnt know that ''half white'' was an nationality xD
@@alestormh Most American white people are so mixed listing out all the different kinds of white people in your DNA is impractical for conversation.
@@alestormh US ideosincrasy....
Mexican isnt a race. There are white Mexicans
Omg! Stop being jerks, you know exactly what op was trying to say😂 c’mon now. Lighten up for Christmas 🎄
A ver, di "erre con erre cigarro" lol
She just from Jalisco y’all or atleast her moms side is most likely 😂
“You’re whiter than a tortilla.” 😂😂😂😂
Apenas vine de la escuela y vengo a esto 😂😂 ( I just came back from school and I come to this 😂😂)
My daughter is fluent in Spanish and when she went to a Mexican school to speak, they were in astonishment and wanted to touch her blond hair.
Eesh sorry 😂😭, that must suck they're treating her like a lab rat or some spectacle. Hopefully she's young enough to not receive it that way.
You're a "no savo kid" 😂🤣😂 I love her personality. Too funny.
As an Afrolatino most people don’t think I can speak Spanish cause I only look African 🧎♂️
WTF... You have my sympathies @dogspaguetti7118
Dude, as a South African and novice Spanish speaker; I can tell you that this can be your secret weapon
I have an auntie and my Abuela calls her " white face “ 💀
that's actually lhateful. she should stop being racist unless she likes being called brown face. both are correct.
My family’s the opposite. If ur dark skin then we call u out on ur brownness and call u Morena or Moreno
Honestly, the fast talking mad vibe forward in the mouth is enough to convince me.
I love the resting "Whut?" face.🤣
When this is your whole identity
Fr like we get it, you're white. There are many white skinned people that their first language was Spanish. I think she just wants to be ✨️super different✨️
this is her entire personality. 🙄
hahahaha spot on mate - you nailed her
😂😂Ikr
Ok we get it lmao
"No sabo" 😂😂
Dude this is so my fucking life 😂🤣😭
I’m Spanish, Mexican, and Irish 😭
Do you have a parent or grandparent born in Ireland?
@@BlutundEhre grandparents
@@SalGlitched ah nice, where abouts in ireland?
@@BlutundEhre a small city outside of Dublin. I’m so sorry I don’t remember the name 😭
@@SalGlitchednah yourself probably American
Same here! Really pale with green eyes, people are surprised when they don't know me. People forget we were invaded by the vikings at some point. And blonde spanish with blue eyes exist! 😂
@theashwoodfaerie Yes indeed, in Basque country there are a lot of people who have dark or medium hair like me with pale skin and grey/greenish eyes. It's very common!
@theashwoodfaerieRed hair is not uncommon in the north of Spain either. Far less Moorish influence up there. The dresses girls wear for some of the traditional folk dances look a lot like what girls wear for Irish dancing, just the Spanish ones are more often red. The world is a fascinating place!
@@camillerolland9784 Yes!! Dark hair, white as a flour tortilla and green eyes!
@@camillerolland9784my great grandfather was Basque and there are a LOT of blonde blue eyes in our family. And fairer skin. However I turned our light olive with green eyes and medium brown hair. But I AM RH negative blood type as are over 80% Basque. I love studying genetics😊
History nerd point: the Visigoths ruled Spain for a couple hundred years-and they originated in Sweden.
Oooh a ginja gringa jajajajaja 😂
I was married to a man with a long Spanish name but he was raised by his Irish grandmother and had blue eyes, as did I. Neither one of us spoke Spanish. Every time we booked a tour or something in Mexico we'd laugh as we watched the smile melt off our guide's face and we could practically hear them thinking "oh shit. I gotta do this in English?!?!"
My whole class thought I was Chinese or Korean and they asked if i was another race and i was like “no I’m mexican-“
My sister get that. I wish I would get mistaken for Asian bcuz I always had common interests in Asian culture
No sabo kids are the funniest 😂
Edit: especially this one
this is brutal xD
I thought I knew spanish until friends and relatives started trying to have academic conversations with me in spanish 💀
I love your hair so much!!!
You don't need to be a master of your 2nd language to be considered bilingual. As long as you can communicate with other people it's fine. Of course there's always room for improvement, but don't be shy to practice your L2
To be considered bilingual you have to be almost as fluent in both languages you speak. If not, you might be fluent in your second language but you are not bilingual. In Europe we have a system that clasifies the knowledge of languages, being level A2 the lowest and E the native speakers. You are considered bilingual only if you are at least C1 or over in both languages. For example, I am an E in Spanish (that's my mother's tongue), and like a D in English, so I'm bilingual, but also I am like a B2 in French and an A2 in German (which means I can understand French pretty well and have a conversation on it, and that I have some basic knowledge of German), but I'm not trilingual even if I can have a conversation in French, because I cannot have a really fluent one.
To be considered bilingual you need to be able to think in your second language, without translating it first, or being able to see movies or read books without any help or translation.
I like that as a gringa you got respect for speaking Spanish, but soon as you were family, it's not enough lol😂
“Whataya mean prrRRRRRrrrrrrrove it?” 😅
“Whiter than a tortilla”!! 🤣🤣
Ur so pretty!! ❤❤
Your spanish is beautiful, i could listen to it all day.
It's pretty bad
Haha, as a Mexican I can tell by her accent she’s a “no sabo girl” 😂
Hey girl um I watch your videos ALOT so I have a question. Do you mind always putting English subtitles because you randomly say Spanish words and then English and it’s hard to keep up, considering I don’t speak Spanish I would really appreciate it!❤❤❤
I second that as a HOH person. I read subtitles a lot!
